MOST of us have ordered clothes and accessories from Shein before.
But many will be shocked to know that you can buy large furniture, including beds and even sheds.
Can you spot the flaw?[/caption]
A woman called Angelica took to social media and showed off the massive shed she had bought from the online retailer.
The 12x10ft metal storage shed looked perfect in the pictures, so she decided to take the risk and get it shipped to her house.
It cost her just £471, and she revealed it was a lot less than other sheds she had looked at.
In the clip, Angelica said: “We bought a storage house from Shein and this is what we got.”
The giant container came to her in three boxes and she admitted some were damaged.
“It came with a little surprise,” she added as she moved one of the boxes to unveil a huge spider.
Ignoring the critter, she went on to unpack the rest of the boxes and was pleasantly surprised to see nothing was missing.
Angelica then went on to build the shed and was pleased to see it all come together.
“Base ready. Walls ready. Roof ready. Doors ready,” she added.
“I actually liked it.”
The shed was so roomy many suggested it could be used as a studio house.
But others noticed there was a major flaw with the building.
The clip went viral with over 8 million views on her TikTok account @angelica_torresramos, and many realised the shed came without any type of flooring.
One person wrote: “What about the floor? Everything is going to get wet when it rains.”
Do I need planning permission to convert my shed?
CONVERTING an existing shed or outbuilding into a self-contained living space will usually require you apply for planning permission.
However, there is a “loophole” Brits can use to convert outbuildings into a tiny home without permission.
Planning expert Martin Gaine from Just Planning warned the conversion process is far easier than you may think.
Speaking to The Sun, the Chartered Town Planner of 14 years’ experience explained: “An outbuilding can be built using ‘permitted development rights‘, meaning it does not need planning permission.
“As long as you comply with the various restrictions and conditions.”
One of these is that the outbuilding can only be used for something ‘ancillary’ to your main living accommodation – examples include storage, a gym or a pool room.
If the outbuilding is existing, converting it then into primary living accommodation IS allowed.
Martin explained: “This is because internal changes to an existing building are not considered to be development at all under the Town and Country Planning Act.
But like anything, there is one catch.
The new living accommodation must still have some connection with your use of the main house.
For instance, if your gran is living out there, she must still come into the house to eat.
Another commented: “No floor?”
“Ooooh that’s a studio apartment,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “THIS IS A WHOLE HOUSE NOT A STORAGE SHED.”
“It looks good!” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Looks cute, but it looks like it’ll break down with wind lol.”
